A Brief Encounter

This weekend winter payed us a brief visit. I like snow for about five minutes and then I'm so over it. I love it when it's new - all quiet, no footprints, everything fresh. Then when the kids have smashed it and wrecked it and shoved every last inch of snow down the neighbourhood's kids backs, I'm done.

Yes we've had an extremely mild winter tooo - warmest on record I think. Most years snow doesn't arrive til February, but I've never known spring flowers through so early. -25°C is a real winter isnt it? Until now we've had no snow, no sleet, no rain - if it wasn't for the short days you wouldn't have known it was winter at all!
